MT4 vs FXTS2

Seems MT4 is far more popular for trading. I use FXTS2. I don't use indicators. So MT4 would be of no more advantage for me? The demo I have at times is slow and balky. Plus it costs about half a pip more I was told. I do fine with my simple system. Any thoughts or a site that compares the 2 platforms.

No need. If you dont need indi's or EA's than you dont need it. MT4 is the most customized trading platform on the planet but if you dont need its strength (custom indi's/EA's) there are better platforms and brokers (like Oanda) - Also try playing with a MT4 ECN demo. It should be much faster. (ATC Brokers, NordMarkets, FXOpen, FXCBS, etc...)

I used MT4 for 2 years, but I highly recommend Ninjatrader above it if you're looking for customization.

But yeah, if you have no reason, don't use MT4.

Ok so I just made 3 trades my system and made $64 scalping. My average pip spread with FXCM US Forex Capital Markets NY., is 2.5 to 2.7 per lot EU my trade times. Oanda charged me 1.4 per lot EU, (50000). Execution was fast but it is 2:40 eastern time here and Friday. How is it during the heavy load hours like 3am est London market weekdays? Any platform problems? Accounting? Service?

Right now I'm ready to make the switch. FXTS2 is a little clumsy, Oanda is smooth for the 1st time I used it. Just want to be careful about the other stuff....any personal info or sites would be appreciated to help decision making. Right now I see +$$ signs being a day trader from the spread differences.

here are quite a bit of broker offer smaller spread or fix spread, like fxopen eu 2 pip spread no matter if it is news or not. and even you can get rebate for your trades. check link below
